Sony UTX-B03 Bodypack Transmitter with Omni Lavalier Microphone (UC14: 470 to 542 MHz)

The 470 to 542 MHz version of the Sony UTX-B03 Bodypack Transmitter with Omni Lavalier Microphone features an all-metal chassis, an easy to read LCD display, a wide switching RF bandwidth, USB power and charging options, infrared synchronization between transmitter and receiver, a Mic/Line switchable input, and digital companding circuitry to improve the transient response of received audio. The package is suitable for a wide range of wireless applications such as ENG (electronic news gathering), documentary work, talk shows, conferences, and more.

The system utilizes UHF Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesis to lock the phase of the transmission frequency between transmitter and receiver. The transmitter and receiver can be linked to an available transmission frequency via infrared. An LCD display provides channel and frequency information, battery life, RF level, audio status and accumulated operating time.

For power, the transmitter operates on two AA batteries for up to 8 hours, or on 5 VDC of USB power over a USB micro B cable. The USB connection can also be used to recharge Ni-MH rechargeable batteries within the battery cartridge.

The unit features a mic- and line-level switch for standard wired microphone- or line-level sources with adjustable attenuation. Selectable transmission output power provides a choice between 5mW output, which is suitable for simultaneous multi-channel operation, or 30mW output for long distance transmission.

The transmitter is referred to as integrated digital because it utilizes DSP to compand the transmission signal. Performing the companding and expanding processes in the digital domain improves the accuracy and transient response of the received audio.

The unit comes with an omnidirectional electret condenser lavalier microphone, a windscreen for the microphone, a microphone holder clip, and a belt clip.

Digital Companding

Utilizes analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter stages so that the transmission signal can be digitally companded by the transmitter and digitally expanded by the receiver for improved audio transient response

Automatic Channel Scanning
Scans for available transmission channels and then syncs the transmitter to the receiver via infrared

Frequency Coverage

Provides up to 72 MHz of transmission bandwidth

UWP Series / WL-800 Series Compatibility

Enables cross-compatibility between the UWP-D transmitter with a UWP Series or WL-800 Series receiver

USB Power Options

Supports USB powering and USB charging of internal Ni-MH rechargeable batteries placed in the battery cartridge

UHF Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Synthesized Frequencies

Provides stable transmission and reception by generating a transmission frequency and locking the phase of the transmission signal to the incoming signal of the receiver

Tone Squelch Circuitry

Transmits a pilot-tone signal with the audio signal and only outputs the audio signal if the pilot tone is present to reduce RF interference from other sources

Mic and Line Input Switch

Enables switching between microphone- and line-level input sources

Simultaneous Multi-Channel Operation

Stores the most stable interference-free transmission frequencies to internal memory for rapid setup and switching between frequency groups

Selectable RF Output

The transmitter allows selection between 5mW output power and 30mW output. 5mW is suitable for indoor, simultaneous multi-channel operation while 30mW is intended for outdoor, long-range use

Visual Display
Features a comprehensive LED display providing channel and frequency information, battery life, total usage time and more

All-Metal Construction

Features metal construction for durability
